Oda Nobunaga

Romanji: Tenka wo Totta Baka
This is a movie, for TV, depicting the life of Oda Nobunaga. He is often considered as a dunderhear, the greatest dunderhead, mainly because he doesn’t conform to the norms of being a Lord. He is the heir yet he acts and dresses like a normal villager, like a begar even. Most of the time he’s dirty and is always involved with fights.

People consider him not worthy to be his father’s successor, only a few believed in him. But he proved them all wrong.

As always, Kimura Takuya’s acting was superb. The way he portrayed Nobunaga’s playful side and how he expresses anguish and pain, it was just the best. This story showed the bloody side of how lands were conquered during that era. It was bloody and even brothers fight for the right to lead. I just hope this doesn’t happen anymore.

People will betray you, is one of the things I learned watching this. Even though she’s your mother or even a brother you trust, when push comes to shove, they only save themselves. It’s sad, but it happens.

I’m not saying this because I LOVE Takuya, but he really is the Drama King of Japan. He’s a really great actor.
